romney was asked about it last night. >> my position has been clear throughout this campaign. i'm in favor of abortion being legal in the case of rape and incest and the health and life of the mother. but recognize this is the decision that will be made by the supreme court. >> it is unclear if that distinction will be mentioned at the convention and given romney's evolution on reproductive rights, it's unlikely he will take a stand now. when romney challenged ted kennedy's massachusetts senate seat, he made it clear he had been a supporter of a woman's right to choose for over two decades. >> i believe that abortion should be safe and legal in this country. i have since the time that my mom took that position when she ran in 1970 as a u.s. senate candidate. i believe that since roe v wade has been the law for 20 years, we should sustain and support it and i sustain and support that law and the right of a woman to make that choice. >> my mother and my family have been committed to the belief that we can believe as we want, but we will not force our beliefs on others on that ma
